Children’s Ministries
We aim to help children grow in their walk with Jesus. We offer a place where kids come to learn about God in a safe, exciting, friendly, and fun environment.
In-person and via livestream

Opportunities
Nursery
For infants to pre-K
We offer a safe environment for parents to leave their little ones. Every week has a Bible story, fun activities, and playtime. The nursery is well-staffed with loving adults who care for your children. Our nursery space is designed to meet the spiritual and developmental needs of our babies and young children while providing a safe and playful environment. In our Little Lambs room, older nursery children will get to do fun crafts, listen to Bible stories, and pray together.
Greenhouse
For children kindergarten through 5th grade
Greenhouse is our worship gathering for children five-years-old through 5th grade that meets on Sundays during the worship service. Your kids will join you in the sanctuary for the first part of worship and will be dismissed after the children’s sermon to their own fun, interactive Bible story teaching time. Trained 6th-8th grade helpers take part in leading this time as well as partnering with smaller children.
Pathways (Sunday Education Time)
For children kindergarten through 5th grade, September-May
Pathways is a time when children play games and do activities to apply the Greenhouse Bible lesson.
Vacation Bible School
For four-years-old to 6th grade
Vacation Bible School is a community-wide summer program run by volunteer adults and teens. VBS features fun, interactive ways for children to learn about Jesus and his love for them.
